Join us for a day of prayer and fasting on May6th. You can choose to participate in this day of prayer however you would like, wherever you find yourself.
As an initiative to increase our dependency on the Spirit, and seeking God to do a transformative work in and through Sardis Fellowship, we set aside the first day of the month to fast and pray. We know not everyone is able to do this in the same way, or to the same degree, so we ask you to consider how you can make this work for you.
Each month we highlight something to focus on, whether that be in the life of our church family, our local community or world. Sometimes we have specific things for you to pray through and sometimes we just give you the focus and allow God’s Spirit to guide you in your prayer time around that topic.
If we as a church family want to see the transformative power of God at work in our lives, the lives of our loved ones, and the community we live in, then we need to seek Him in prayer. I trust you’ll join us each month. Pastor Rod Heppell.
May 6th: Prayer and Fasting
In the way that works for you, join us in seeking God on our Day of Prayer and Fasting, asking God to guide and direct our vision for making disciples at Sardis Fellowship. From our new sermon series on connecting with our neighbors to our new discipleship plan for our spiritual journey, we are asking the Holy Spirit to do a work amongst us that would draw all people to know the saving grace of Jesus. Pray for boldness to reach out to our neighbors. Pray for those new to their faith in Jesus to declare it through Baptism. Pray for each person to find a place of community in one of our small groups. Pray for our Sardis Kids and Youth programming.
Come on out for a light lunch and a Q&A with our guest speaker Steve Sundby as he helps us understand how to connect with our neighbors as Jesus would have us to do.
12pm after the service in the Fireside Room!

Pastor Rod is leading a seminar on our new sermon series, “Sharing the Gospel.” Sunday nights from November 5th to the 19th, from 6pm-7pm. We hope to see you there!
Who hasn’t felt the inner tug of the heart to share the good news of Jesus with a friend, family member, co-worker or neighbor? I’m sure we all have. We know the love of Jesus for ourselves and we know he loves our friends too, but we find it hard to talk about Jesus with them. Why is that? If you’d like to talk about this come out to our three part seminar on “developing significant relationships with people far from Jesus” on Nov. 5th, 12th and 19th, from 6-7pm at Sardis Fellowship. We will talk about things like, “What counts as sharing the gospel?” What are the “guts” of the gospel? & “How to have a spiritual conversation with a friend who doesn’t yet know Jesus?” This is all a part of our vision at Sardis Fellowship to be a “loving, just, visible, & transformative presence in our local community.” Centred in Christ, visible in community, transforming our world! To the Glory of God!
Over the next 4 weeks (November 19 to December 15) let's fill up our "Giving Tree" with food supplies for people in need in our local community.

“In the beginning, God created one human. And in God’s sin-free, beautiful world, something wasn’t right. That the human was alone. The creation of Eve isn’t just the story of marriage. It’s also the beginning of community. God exists in trinity and we were made in his image.
We were created for community. And because our Father is generous, he’s given us one of the most essential and life-changing relationships for community: friendship.
In this six-week study Not Alone, join Jennie Allen, Lauren Chandler, and Amena Brown as they talk all about friendship. Find out why we need friendship, discover biblical examples of friendship, and identify the pitfalls, challenges, and joys of friendship. They’ll dive into the tough topics of toxic relationships, boundaries, and how to rebuild broken trust. But most of all, the teachers, real-life stories, and study guides will help you celebrate the encouragement, wisdom, and love that only comes when you’re not alone.”

All women are invited to join us for this fall Bible Study on God’s Unbreakable Promises, from RightNow Media.
“How can you trust that God is good?
With the Bible at our fingertips, we have a story of God’s faithfulness right in front of us to show us one example after another of who God is. In this six-session study, we want to walk you through some of the promises and covenants God made with his people to understand more of the story of God and the big picture of his unfailing love for us.
Through this study, featuring teaching videos from Jennie Allen, Lauren Chandler, and Jada Edwards, you will discover:
The story of God throughout the Bible, and what it means for you now.
That God always keeps his word, even if we don’t.
That God never fails, even when his people do.
God always keeps his promises.”
Each session will begin by having coffee and connecting with one another from 9-9:30 a.m., then we will watch the provided video session together and follow with discussion from 9:30-10:30 a.m.
The $10 fee for this study will cover the cost of one God’s Unbreakable Promises Study Guide per person. The guide is a printed out 30 day daily devotional for your personal devotions to go along with the study.
While we will not be collecting fees online, we ask that participants please bring $10 cash to the first session to cover the materials.
Yes, there will be childcare provided. We will have our Preschool classroom open, and children will be all together to play.
However, we could use another hand helping to look after the child. So, if you or your older child/teenager is interested in volunteering to provide childcare for our study, please contact Jasmine Pedersen by clicking below.
Yes. For us to get an idea of how many people to expect, and have enough materials prepared, we are asking that women sign-up in advance. That being said, we also welcome drop-ins to our study from week to week.
